They field tested a selected training sample and used an assortment of pre- diction tools to assess various traits. The researchers then cultivated 200 of those accessions to check how their predic- tions matched reality. Yield predictions had an accuracy of 76 percent, and predictions for other traits, such as plant height, ranged from 67 to 83 percent. “By leveraging genomics and data analytics, we certainly can do a better job,” Jianming Yu says. Funding for the research came from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, the National Science Foundation, Kansas State University Center for Sorghum Improvement, the ISU Raymond F. Baker Center for Plant Breeding and the ISU Plant Science Institute. SW “We all agree on the urgency and challenges to effectively mine the natural heritage stored in gene banks. But we need to test different strategies and we need to figure out the way.” — Jianming Yu
